Notes:
1. This document describes the Model 3 (punch-print-
verify) machine, which has a single combination punch/
read station. The Model 1 also has a combination
station. Initial Model 2 machines (punch-print) have a
separate punch station and read station, similar to the
IBM 29 Card Punch. Model 2 machines with serial
numbers 2xxxx and higher will have a single combina-
tion punch/read station, the same as the Model 1 and 3
machines.
All operations are the same on all Model 2 machines,
whether they have the separate read and punch stations
or the combination punch/read station.
2. This document states. that column indicator shows CC
when a correction card should be punched in verify
mode on Models 1 and 3. (See "Column Indicator,"
"VER CORR (Verify Correction) Key," "Verify a
Card," and "Punch a Verify Correction Card.") This CC
indication will not be available on initial shipment
Modell and 3 machines; it will be provided on machines
with serial numbers 2xxxx and higher.
On initial Model 1 and 3 machines, without the CC
indication, column indicator will show 00 for the
preceding situation. All operations are the same for all
machines; only the indication on the column indicator is
different.
